Late-night hosts have questioned Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities
as he makes further blunders during his second term.

SETH MEYERS

On Late Night, Seth Meyers
[[link removed]] replayed clips
of various rightwingers talking about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline
when he was president and then told viewers that the same people
should be more aware of Trump having similar issues.

Recently, he repeated the debunked claim that he predicted Osama bin
Laden would engage in mass terrorist activity one year before 9/11.
Meyers played footage of him slurring a catalogue of errors to a
crowd. “Finding the dementia in that clip is like finding Waldo in a
book called Oops! All Waldos,” he said.

Meyers said “the president’s brain is mush” before playing
footage of him not knowing what habeas corpus is. ‘The president
should probably know what it is,” he said.

Trump appeared to think it was a person and when he asked who that
was, Meyers joked: “Look at the panic in his eyes.”

He asked for help from Kristi Noem, yet the head of homeland security
has also previously struggled to define what it is, with Meyers
showing footage of her being schooled by a senator. Meyers said that
Republicans had become “so uninformed they’re turning senators
into the principal from Billy Madison”.

Trump has also been “threatening to jail elected officials who get
in his way” with a bizarre Truth Social post where he claimed he
would lock up the mayor of Chicago for not assisting Ice agents being
sent to the city.

Meyers said Trump is “deeply unhinged, detached from reality” and
probably has dementia.

JIMMY KIMMEL

On Jimmy Kimmel
[[link removed]] Live! the
host said we were living in “a golden age of awful”.

This week sees Trump heading for his annual medical checkup which
Kimmel said he wants to ace so he can take part in the “annual
tradition of eating all of Eric’s trick or treat candy”.

He also told anyone who thinks their job is bad to spare a thought for
the person who “has to give Donald Trump a prostate exam”.

Trump has also been heavily campaigning for the Nobel peace prize,
something Kimmel ridiculed. “I’ve seen a lot of Oscar and Emmy
campaigns but no one has vied for an award more rigorously,” he
said.

Kimmel said that “no one has suffered more unfairness” than Trump.

In a social media post, the White House even sent out an image calling
him “the peace president”. Kimmel joked that this man of peace is
“sending a platoon to invade a yoga studio in Portland right now”.

Meanwhile, Noem is threatening to “lock up American protesters for
life” after claiming to have captured founding members of Antifa, an
“entirely imaginary organisation”.

Trump’s wild claims about Portland has Kimmel thinking he is getting
his intelligence briefings from “reruns of The Walking Dead”.

All of this is just an “attempt to distract us from the Epstein
files he doesn’t want us to see”.

This also explains the government shutdown to avoid a potentially
risky vote that could expose Trump. “It’s so brazen,” Kimmel
said.

He then played footage of a surprisingly reasonable Marjorie Taylor
Greene who pointed this out in a TV interview. “I don’t know if
she had a near-death experience or maybe a medicine ball fell of a
shelf at the gym and hit her on the head,” he said.

She also spoke about Trump’s inability to help Americans lower
prices and raise wages. “Keep that up you’ll be dancing with Bad
Bunny at the half-time show,” Kimmel said.
